EKPHRASTIC 4.0

EKPHRASTIC 4.0

EKPHRASTIC 4.0 is the fourth iteration of an experiment in collaborative multi-panel storytelling facilitated by artist Megan Vossler.

Over five weeks, artists will stop by SooVAC to draw on-site; as the drawings are completed, they will be displayed on the walls in an exquisite corpse-style narrative. During the final week of the exhibition, writers will visit the completed drawing and create short narrative responses, hence the title EKPHRASTIC. (Ekphrasis = Greek term for interpreting, describing, or amplifying an existing artwork in one medium by using another medium. For example, a drawing of a story or a story about a drawing.)​

Participating artists currently include Hend Al-Mansour, Alyssa Baguss, Alexandra Beaumont, Gwen Comings, Jennifer Davis, Christi Furnas, Ruthann Godollei, Christopher Harrison, Lora Hlavsa, Meher Khan, Fawzia Khan, Ann Lawton, David Lefkowitz, Erik Lervold, Avigail  Mannenberg, Mary Jane Mansfield, Alex Mitchell, Niky Motekallem, Emily North, Terrence Payne, Alex M. Petersen, Asa Rallings, Annalise Record, Jenny Schmid, Anika Schneider, Dietrich Sieling, Caitlin Skaalrud, Alanna Stapleton, Andy Sturdevant, Carolyn Swiszcz, Christopher Tradowsky, Chris Willcox, Ivonne Yáñez, Bo An Young and many more to come.
